Musical Thinlits

Amongst my SU parcel of goodies this week was the circle thinlits die. I had purchased the label one before Christmas and really enjoyed using it to make some very quick cards so just had to have the circle one too.  And this is what I made.

I'm afraid this was the best photo I could get - gold  card is not the best thing to photograph, I kept getting my own reflection in it! I have used some retired DSP which I think was called Mocha Morning from my snippets box, the red card was also from the box, the music stamp is non- SU. The heart, xoxo and chevrons are all dies that come with the circle thinlits. I think this would be a very suitable male valentine card. I am going to take it over to The Male Room challenge which is asking for "Music" and to Pixies Playground as I have used snippets.

You can order from my online shop at anytime  or email  if you prefer the personal touch .

Inspiration from Sue Wilson

Sue Wilson showed a card on her show on TV last week that I really liked so I decided to make something similar but using SU products. This is what I came up with. The only thing that is not SU is the ribbon which came from my stash and I think was originally on a box of chocolates! The base card is Naturals Ivory, I cut two borders using the lace ribbon border punch and stuck them on the back of a piece of Mocha Morning DSP. The flowers were made with the Blossom punch and cut out of First edition DSP. They were inked with crumb cake and scrunched and tweaked till I was happy with them. They are held together with antique brads. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs and stamped onto naturals ivory card cut with the decorative label punch, then mounted on black cut withe the framelits. The bow is finished off with a button from the neutrals collection with a piece of bakers twine threaded through it. It was white but I inked it with crumb cake to match the rest of the card.

Sail Away Two!

I'm scheduling this post(so hope it works) and tomorrow's as I will be on a train on my way to see my two beautiful grandsons. I can't believe that the youngest has just had his 2nd birthday! Time goes much too fast when they're little.

This one was made on a black DL card, with a small piece of DSP from the Mocha Morning Specialty papers. The yachts were stamped in black and the edges inked with Soft Suede.
